There is no beating around the bush on this one. It’s a well-known fact. When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens (http://www.baltimoreravens.com/) take the field, there is no love lost between the two teams.

“It’s one of the best rivalries,” said guard Chris Kemoeatuhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/chris-kemoeatu/0d696080-a402-4613-bcc8-986b8708cb85/). “It has a lot of history to it. I don’t know if hate is the word to use, but I think there is a lot of hate involved. It makes it that much more physical and competitive.”

And come Sunday night at M&T Bank Stadium, with first place in the AFC North on the line, look for the intensity to reach another level.

“It’s always a big game when we play them,” said nose tackle Casey Hamptonhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/casey-hampton/179448fb-c7b4-43ee-82db-14d8d6f9eab3/). “We are both physical teams, we our good defensive teams. We like to shut people down. It’s always a physical game. As a football player that’s the kind of game you want to play.".............

I expect this game to be the usual Steelers/Ravens blood bath that it always is. It's very sad that I even have to say this, but I PRAY that we don't have to deal with flag-happy officials.

I worry. I feel a beating like the one Ben took down there a few years ago. Too much going on with both lines. Gonna have to keep a back and Heath in just to keep Ben upright, which gives a serious advantage to the defense. I hope for the best, gonna be a tough game.

There's gonna be a couple of quadriplegics after this one...

Ben has their number. I feel good about this one.
